What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, and is a mental health therapy method. EMDR treats mental health conditions that happen because of memories from traumatic events in your past. It’s best known for its role in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but its use is expanding to include treatment of many other conditions, that include anxiety, stress and depression, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, sleep disturbances and more.
EMDR is a technique I frequently use with my clients and has show incredible results.
